Questions and answers
Are the games on Arcade Whale free?
Yes. Every game is free to play in full, with nothing to buy and no premium version. Advertising is what keeps it that way.
Do I need to download anything or create an account?
No. Every game runs in your browser tab: pick one and it starts. There is no installer, no launcher and no sign-up.
Can I play on my phone, tablet or Chromebook?
Yes. The games work with touch on phones and tablets and with a keyboard and mouse on computers, Chromebooks included. Each game page lists its controls under "How to play".
Is my progress saved?
Yes, in your own browser on this device: levels, high scores, streaks and settings are kept there, with no account. Weekly leaderboard scores are also sent to us so the boards can rank them. To carry your progress to another device, use Transfer your progress: it packs everything into a one-time code that our server keeps for 15 minutes. Clearing your browser data for this site resets it.
